J-Series Data Radio – User Manual
Access Point
Start your web browser and insert the IP address of the J-Series
Access Point into the URL. Once loaded, click on the Diagnostics
option. This will display the Diagnostics summary page. Review the
diagnostics parameters checking for abnormal items such as high
VSWR (high TX reverse power) and lower than expected radio
RSSI (Received Signal Strength).
Review Remote Radio
Click on the sub-menu “Browse Network”. The remote radio will
appear in the list (serial number and unit type is listed). Click on the
Serial Number of the Remote Radio. The browser will now re-direct
to the Remote radio. Click on the “Summary” TAB and the remote
radios diagnostics can now be reviewed.
Packet Error Testing
This tool provides a useful way to test a radio communications link
by transmitting data packets between two units in a loop-backed
mode.
To start the test, direct the browser to Access Point by typing the IP
address of this unit into your URL. Select the “Diagnostics” menu
and click on the “Packet Error Testing” sub-menu.
Enter the “Destination Serial Number” of the Remote radio and
ensure the “Number of Packets” is set to 1000. Now click on the
“Start Packet Test” button. The radio will indicate the packet test has
started and is currently running.
When the test is complete, a note stating “Packet error test
completed” will be shown and the test results summarized in the
“Test Results” section.
The test results show TX & RX Packets, Lost Packets and the
Packet Error Rate.
Commissioning RecordAfter an Indicative
Packet Error test has been performed, a
Commissioning Record can be prepared.
This facility is activated by clicking on the
“Commissioning Record” button.
It is recommended that the radio is configured to obtain the current
date / time from an NTP server, otherwise the date / time shown
may not be correct.
The user can enter an appropriate Unit Name and Location for
reference purposes. Additionally, a comment may be added noting
the type of antenna in use. Once this information has been added,
the web page can be printed (using the print facility in your web
browser). It may be useful to print the commissioning record to
PDF for future reference.
This now completes the requirements for setting up a Point to Point
J-Series Link. The radios are now ready for application testing.
The application can be connected to either LAN1 or LAN2 or both
(as required). For more information on testing, please consult the
J-Series User Manual.
